F.E.A.R. 3 (PC) Review @ HardwareHeaven

I wouldn't normally post something like this but I have been playing this title for the past couple weeks and have thus far been very impressed.  The game does support DX11 at some level but due to the however due to the GTX 275 in my gaming rig I'm forced to play in DX9 mode.

At its core F.E.A.R 3 is a modern day first person shooter so all of the key ingredients are here, the ability to carry multiple weapons, including two of the same type for dual handed attacks, we can zoom to target and health regenerates when we seek cover. Day 1 have however retained some of the key aspects of the original title which ensure that this feels like a F.E.A.R title, the main thing being the ability to slow time while attacking which allows us to target and attack multiple enemies more successfully in dangerous situations.

The only thing I'm not so happy about is the mouse movements being rather quick and jumpy due to a lower than expected framerate (again due to the GTX 275).  Despite this I find the action to be well paced with the right amount of enemy interaction and plenty of places to hide during the fire fights.

There is also plenty of spooky parts and a few places where bodies hanging from meat hooks appear out of nowhere.
